Countdown to a Better You

In the last two years, I have managed to lose about 30 pounds. I started in at 185 pounds, and for a woman who is only 5’2″ tall — that is not a healthy weight. So I set out to do something about. Little by little, I have made small changes in my life for the better. I cut out sodas completely and now only drink water, along with my morning coffee. I started walking at least 30 minutes every day, and now — I am working on cutting out those dreaded sweets. It’s been a long hard road for me. While other people drop off weight fast, mine is coming off slow. You know what? I am totally OK with that. The point is — it’s coming off.

I still have about 30 more pounds to lose, so I am counting down to a better me. I will eventually get there, but it is going to take a lot of hard work and determination on my part in order for that to happen.

Eating Chicken Can Help You Reach Your Goal

One of my favorite foods to eat that helps me stay on track is chicken. I love roasted, baked, and grilled — because those three ways are the most healthiest choices. Having quick and easy recipes on hand make it easier to create a meal that is better for you instead of choosing an unhealthier option — like the drive thru. Here are 3 recipes I found within minutes of looking at the Tyson® Grilled & Ready® Pinterest board:

This fun infographic shows all kinds of information about chicken and why Americans love it so much to whether we feel inspired… or defeated by a little healthy competition to the amount of time we wish we spent cooking guilt-free meals… and more! I found myself shaking my head “yes” as I read through it.
